This post is about the business of art, selling oil paintings, but I only go on about it for a paragraph and then it is all pictures.
In the past month and a half, twelve oil paintings have sold.
TWELVE!
I would say, “I’ve sold twelve paintings”, but it wouldn’t be very true. I am not that good at selling, in spite of reading all sorts of websites, blogs, and books on the subjects. If you really want a painting and have the money, I want you to have it! But I am not going to convince you against your budget or your better judgement that you should buy a painting from me. Not gonna do it! It is fake to say certain “magic” words that will somehow separate people from their money. No phony-baloney-plastic-banana in me.
End of explanation (excuse?). Now, let’s rejoice!
P.S. I wasn’t related to any of the customers and some I didn’t even know!

Yes … Yes
Thank you, Diane! I will take another painting to Silver City this weekend . . . haven’t heard from them, so it is good to know there are spaces to fill on the shelves!
Also ‘Hiking Mineral King’ and ‘Sawtooth IX” yesterday afternoon following a piece of Razzle-dazzle’ pie …
Diane, were you at the Silver City Store yesterday? And bought my paintings?? Wowsa! Thanks! (Or maybe I am misunderstanding your comment. . .)
